This document discusses various aspects of embedded software design including functionality design and programming, designing for fault tolerance, hardware-aware design and programming, designing and programming for performance, and designing for maintainability. Some key points discussed are top-down functional design, designing for uninterrupted execution and crash recovery, programming for hardware specifics, optimizing for performance through techniques like reducing system calls and buffer caching, and including debugging logs and remote update mechanisms to improve maintainability.

U-Boot, a boot loader for Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
code.
Linux has become integral part of Embedded systems. This presentation gives deeper perspective of Linux from system programming perspective. Stating with basics of Linux it goes on till advanced aspects like system calls, process subsystem, inter process communication mechanisms, thread and various synchronization mechanisms like mutex and semaphores. Understanding these services provided by Linux are essential for embedded systems engineer. These constructs helps users to write efficient programs in Linux environment

An unique module combining various previous modules you have learnt by combing Linux administration, Hardware knowledge, Linux as OS, C/Computer programming areas. This is a complete module on Embedded OS, as of now no books are written on this with such practical aspects. Here is a consolidated material to get real hands-on perspective about building custom Embedded Linux distribution in ARM.
The U-Boot is an "Universal Bootloader" ("Das U-Boot") is a monitor program that is under GPL. This production quality boot-loader is used as default boot loader by several board vendors. It is easily portable and easy to port and to debug by supporting PPC, ARM, MIPS, x86,m68k, NIOS, Microblaze architectures. Here is a presentation that introduces U-Boot.
The slides begins with introduction to the character drivers and then mentions the various APIs for registering the character driver. Dynamically creating the device file and IOCTL
Some basic knowledges required for beginners in writing linux kernel module - with a description of linux source tree, so that the idea of where and how develops. The working of insmod and rmmod commands are described also.

ITT 2015 - Kirk Pepperdine - The (not so) Dark Art of Performance Tuning, fro...Istanbul Tech Talks
Performance optimization has always thought to be a fine art as it could not be easily formalized, or constrained into one solid workflow. However, there are common patterns all performance engineers could follow in their investigations. Kirk Pepperdine describes some approaches and tools to analyse modern application performance problems in J2SE and hardware.
InduSoft Web Studio has proven an excellent platform for Andon solutions for factory automation. This month, we are proud to introduce our new Andon template, which will allow users to easily develop and implement Andon solutions for any industry. Join us as we demonstrate this new template, and discuss how to create similar applications for any industry.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
